Florida basketball had a practice open to the media this past week, as well as an opportunity to open up coach Todd Golden to questioning. One particular answer was noticeably interesting, after Golden was asked about what statistical improvements need to be made on defense in order to make a jump. Here is what he had to say:
“Yeah, I think the main things, you know, that we’re going to be thinking about a lot is, like, kind of like a big-picture wise, two-point field-goal percentage, like, we’ve got to be a better rim protecting team. Part of that is protecting the rim better, but also making sure that they don’t get as many rim shots, so that’s one area that we really need to get better at.
